Chapter 413: Chapter 214: Actually, I Like You (4)
Lin Mo glanced at Feney, then at Shefilya. It occurred to him that Feney still didn’t seem to know what was going on between him and Shefilya. After all, their past interactions had always happened while Feney was at work (at the Church).
Feney didn’t even know that her own mother had already "sold" her off, arranging the most important matter of her life on her behalf.
Shefilya remained expressionless, but this time it clearly wasn’t out of composure. She was simply frozen by the awkwardness.
’How am I supposed to explain this...’
’I already tested him for you, and he’s fantastic?’
’It might be a matter of course, but it still feels a bit wrong.’
’What’s the right way to handle a situation like this?’
Lin Mo’s mind was racing. Just as Feney was about to speak, he suddenly interrupted her, "Feney, listen to me. I have something important to tell you!"
"Wh-what is it?"
His loud voice and serious expression startled Feney, and she asked nervously.
"The truth is..."
Lin Mo slowly drew closer to her. He looked at her adorable, delicate face, took a deep breath, and steeled himself. Finally, he spoke the words straight from his heart: "The truth is, I like you."
"CLATTER—"
The sound of something hitting the floor suddenly rang out. Everyone turned to look. Flora, who had just entered, wore an expression of pure shock and embarrassment.
She looked at Lin Mo, then at Feney, and her gaze swept over Ali and Shefilya.
"Sorry for interrupting... You guys continue."
Flora quickly picked up the item from the floor, backed out of the room, and didn’t forget to close the door on her way out.
...
The room was immediately plunged into silence.
Lin Mo’s gaze returned to Feney.
A wave of embarrassment and shyness washed over the adorable girl, causing her brain to completely short-circuit.
Her face was flushed crimson, and "steam" was practically billowing from the top of her head.
Even Ali was surprised. As far as she knew, Lin Mo had always been the more passive one when it came to romance, both in the early stages of getting closer and during their more intimate moments.
But after gradually gaining some experience, he had seemed to become more proactive lately. And now he’d gone and made such a sudden, direct move.
Ali quietly gave him a thumbs-up.
To be honest, as a Half-Beastman, she preferred it when a man could be a bit more assertive like this.
Shefilya, meanwhile, maintained her calm, expressionless facade. Her gaze, however, remained fixed on the two of them, her eyes clearly showing a feeling of what could only be described as "gratification."
At that moment, Lin Mo paid no mind to the others’ reactions. His gaze was locked firmly on Feney.
’Great, it looks like that was super effective!’
Whether Shefilya had let it slip by accident or on purpose, he didn’t know. But since an address like "Master" had already been spoken, the best way to prevent Feney from getting the wrong idea was to tear down that thin paper wall between them and make everything crystal clear.
Just as he had told Lady Beixila when she asked, Lin Mo did, of course, like Feney.
Likewise, everything from her usual words and expressions to her current reaction undoubtedly proved that Feney liked him, too.
They had spent a good amount of time together. It was time to put an end to that vague, ambiguous feeling between them.
"So, what about you, Feney?"
Lin Mo pressed on, "How do you feel about me, Feney?"
